Lover

Filed Under L 

Lover. Holy cow I love that word. It gives off this soft, tender vibe – and at the same time it sounds passionate and intense. It sounds like fire. The Portuguese correspondent of lover (”amante”) is usually used for mistresses and illicit affairs. I love it that in English it applies to any two people in love, or who regularly enjoy each other’s, hum… bodies. Screw spouses, boyfriends, girlfriends, partners, the works. Lovers. That’s what’s up.
